Wired magazine does this really groovy thing every month in the back of the magazine. It’s called Found Artifacts, which take everyday concepts, items, products, etc. and revise them for the future…essentially it’s critical design but in a more tame, easy to digest form.
Below are pictures from last month’s Found Artifacts: Happy Meal 2013
I like the style of the photo illustration, and it could be a good alternative to having the physical products to show. Art directing shoots like this is what I used to do at my former job, so the main thing I would have to focus on is packaging and producing realistic looking products. It would be easy to throw something like this up on the screen while Rebecca talked, or to have on the wall during thesis show.
